A trip to the apple orchard

Onto the best season… of apple orchards, cider mills, cozy sweaters and of course, comfortable and casual boots for the colder seasons ahead! I’m always excited to switch over my sandals for a pair of ankle boots when autumn hits! Eric and I are both styling some options from Blundstone USA – a company established in Tasmania. They have boots that are rugged and iconic enough that work for a hike on a trail or on a rainy street when you’re walking downtown. We wore ours out to one of our favorite apple orchards to take part in some autumn fun! 🍎

Zenner's Farm Market

Autumn, autumn, AUTUMN. 🍂 I’m so excited to be moving into my autumn content! I feel like other bloggers have been blogging pumpkin patches since the end of August. 🤣 Oh well. I had so much to catch up on — we had some amazing trips at the end of summer/early fall, so I really can’t complain. But I’m excited to be here, caught up, posting on all the pumpkin patches, apple orchards, hot cider, pumpkin spice and burnt orange errythang until December hits. Here we go! But yeah, I was excited to partner up with Lulus for this post! They are killing the fall game right now — I was excited to pick out some new goodies! I went for this cozy sweater which is more of a reddish orange color, and a pair of the high-rise cropped Levi’s because these jeans are just amazing. Be sure to head over to Lulu’s website… lots of cute fall items right now!

Sunflower fields

Okay… excuse the repeat outfit post here, but I just had to take photos in this sunflower field we spotted on our way home from Ohio! So on our way up to the upper peninsula, I made Eric drive like 45 minutes out of the way (😬) to find a sunflower field in Traverse City. We spotted it, but all the sunflowers were flopped over dead and the field itself was SAD. So we ended up taking these photos instead, but… I still was dying to see a sunflower field and take photos in one! So we were driving home from Ohio, same outfit as this post, and I spotted this field and was like, “STOPPP!” Hahaha. So here I am, in the field I wanted, I just wish I had packed an extra outfit! 😆

The hay field

Helloooooo, October, you dreamboat of a month you! So technically these photos were taken before our trip to Escanaba. We were having all the fall vibes on our drive up to the upper peninsula, so we stopped to snap these pictures! I actually need to blog my trip to Springfield, Ohio first this week before I can truly move onto fall content, but we’re getting close. We’ve been taking some fall photos lately, and I’m really excited to start blogging in a new season. How in the world did I get so behind? 🤣 So bare with me this week as I get caught up, wrap up the summer season, and fully move into October and autumn. But these photos are at least getting us some of those autumn vibes! 🍂

Peninsula Point Light
Peninsula Point Light

Moving onto the last lighthouse from our trip to Escanaba… the Peninsula Point Light! So the locals call this the Stonington Lighthouse, and I was getting so confused… like am I missing a lighthouse during this trip?! But it’s because it’s out on Stonington Peninsula! So first, it takes about 30 minutes to go down the peninsula and down a narrow dirt road before you reach the lighthouse. Second, this tower is all that remains after a fire and demolition. You can open the door, and climb up by yourself, for a gorgeous view of the bay. Third, this is the only place you can spot the Minneapolis Shoal Light from shore (it’s so distant, but I was able to snap a picture on the furthest zoom!) and…. fourth, this is a gathering place for monarch butterflies each fall where they rest before continuing south across Lake Michigan on their annual migration to Mexico. Long story short, this is such a special place.

Menominee North Pier Lighthouse
Menominee North Pier Lighthouse

During our trip to Escanaba, we headed down to spend a day (ish) in Menominee! To be honest, there’s not much to do in this town (that we figured out) but there’s a lighthouse there… so of course, off we went! Menominee is right on the Michigan/Wisconsin border, so it was kind of fun to cross over into Wisconsin for a second just to say we did (haha), to do a little wine tasting at Yooper Winery, to eat some Wisconsin cheese curds at Ogden Club, to walk around their strange, quiet little downtown, to grab malts from the local ice-cream shop, and to walk down the pier to the Menominee North Pier Lighthouse. This one was built in 1877, and has been shifted and changed many times! There are several markers on the pathway that say where the lighthouse used to sit… it’s been moved/extended three times!
